RATINGS: 72 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.6 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 210 ABV: 7%

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lush and fruity, this "super saison" has been totally overhauled from the last two years. Previously, this beer has been lighter in color and ABV, but an increase in buckwheat honey has pushed the color into the dark amber range, providing a rich, layered complexity. The first sip leaves your mouth with a kiss of sweetness in an otherwise dry strong ale. 2006 version was Belgian Strong Ale and at 9%+ abv.

2008 version back to 7% abv, more in the traditional saison style - hazy golden in color.

Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - APR 1, 2010

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this beer out of a 750 ml bottle. It is my first beer from this brewery. The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is malty with a lot of honey notes. The flavor is more of the same with honey, spices, Belgian yeast, grain and some fruit that reminds me a grapes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not a classic saison, but still enjoyable.
